The McCune vs Myrtle Beach Indoor Shooting Range case contains much of accurate interpretations of the law when pertaining to contracts of adhesion.

After listening to a few of the oral history interviews and viewing photos from the events that occurred during the 1970 Kent State Shootings, I can’t begin to imagine the true effects of such an occurrence. During the past two decades, I’ve distantly witnessed, via multi-media, numerous acts of massacres on school campuses alone (elementary, high school and college) that resulted in lost lives and immense trauma for all involved. I’m sitting here trying to visualize what it may have been like for all the KS students, facility, and towns people, as well as, the members of the national guard during the weekend of May 1-4, 1970. A colleague of mine, Jane Grote describes it well as she was literally in the middle of it all.
In the wake of the shooting at Kent State University on May 4, 1970, some students

Conflict theory and functionalism were utilized to describe the mutual effort between personnel and students to continue to revert back to what Harper High once was and serve as an example to other schools all around the country.

Gun Control: Firearms Illegal in Texas Elementary Schools Today in America, the government is slowly providing laws and policies that reflect a safe society for its citizens to live comfortably. On the other hand, the laws in specific states, are less-limiting by not restricting specific criminal acts. In some states, like the state of Texas, students in elementary educational level can go to school as well as the teachers, and parents can know that they will be safe.

Meanwhile, those who oppose the second amendment persist in using this situation to dispute gun rights,
